Diego Velázquez's "The Surrender of Breda" captures the poignant moment of the Dutch surrender to the Spanish, showcasing the artist's masterful ability to portray humanity and respect amidst conflict. A stunning piece of history for any home.

Diego Velázquez's "The Surrender of Breda", also known as "Las Lanzas" (The Lances), immortalises the key moment when Justin of Nassau hands over the keys of Breda to Ambrogio Spinola, marking the Spanish victory in 1625. Velázquez masterfully avoids the typical triumphal depiction of war, instead focusing on the humanity and respect between the two commanders. The painting showcases a harmonious blend of realism and symbolism, characteristic of the Spanish Golden Age. The composition is divided into two distinct groups: the Dutch side, disorganised and weary, and the Spanish, orderly and triumphant, yet Velázquez avoids portraying the Dutch as defeated, instead emphasising their dignity in surrender. The lances in the background serve as a visual representation of Spanish power, while the smoke-filled landscape hints at the battle's devastation. As a fine art print, this iconic work brings a touch of historical gravitas and artistic brilliance to any space, sparking conversation and admiration for Velázquez's unparalleled skill in capturing human emotion and historical significance.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
